1969 Falkland Islands (Malvinas). Cecil and Kitty Bertrand in their home on Carcass Island, West Falkland. 'Carcass' as the islanders know it is named after a British ship HMS Carcass which surveyed it in 1766. The island is on the far west of the archipelago about 140 miles (200 kms) from the capital,Stanley and Kitty and Cecil had to be totally self sufficient while sheep farming. They had outside help only at shearing times and every day began with milking their one cow at dawn. Kitty and Cecil kept their island home as a wildlife sanctuary and invited us to stay so we could film and record Cecil's memories of island and Patagonian life dating back to the early part of the century.
